Relationships are tricky. You have two people who are very independent, now learning how to adjust and figure out how to function with this other person in their life. In my own relationship both of us are pretty independent and function quite well on our own, so there were a lot of rough days where we had to learn to adjust to each other. Here are 11 tips on how to survive a relationship from my boyfriend and me.

1. Communication

Wes: Never ever assume ANYTHING!

Celia: What's that supposed to mean?

Wes: See this is why I regret doing this with you...

Celia: Hey!

Wes: I loove you...

2. Be Honest

Celia: Believe it or not men are terrible at reading minds.

Wes: Duh...That's true.

Celia: What about you? Do you always tell me the truth?

Wes: Course I do... Even if it ticks you off.

3. Laugh

Wes: I mean you could have put in our conversation from last night.

Celia: You mean the one about slapping you with a fish?

Wes: ... never mind.

4. Chivalry is not dead

Wes: Women still like it when you open the car door for them.

Celia: Men like it when you open the door for them. *smirks*

Wes: *growls*

5. Have Patience

Wes: Wait, I have to come up with more tips?

Celia: I came up with the first three!

Wes: No you asked me for the first three!

Celia: I asked you to respond to the first three...

Wes: Oh...

6. Compromise

Celia: Alright what's your next tip? You have to come with two more since I did the last one for you.

Wes: No way!

Celia: Uh huh!

Wes: Women are sneaky brats...

7. Food

Wes: Never feed them after midnight!

Celia: What's that supposed to mean?

Wes: Uh, last night? I gave you one funnel cake fry and then you wanted to hit me with a fish...

Celia: Whoops?

8. Spend time together

Wes: You can't take another one of my tips...

Celia: You're on your phone RIGHT NOW!

Wes: *glares and throws phone on the bed*

9. Always go along with the quirky-ness

Celia: I'm not that bad am I?

Wes: I have no response to that...

10. Never take the little things for granted

Wes: Whether she likes surprises or not, do it anyways!

Celia: I like your surprises....

Wes: They can't hear the tone in your voice.

Celia: Rude...

11. Love like you could lose them

Wes: Which might be before this article is published.

Celia: HEY! I was trying to be sweet.

Wes: That's why I helped you with your article because I love you.

Celia: Aw, well thanks, I guess I love you too.

Wes: I guess I'll keep you around...

Celia: Rude...

10 Truths About Being In A Sorority

I remember my freshman year oh so well. I remember feeling terrified the night before orientation. The one thing that I dreaded the most was not the new people, the new environment, or even the academic pressure. I was dreading having to talk to sorority girls about Recruitment. I remember cutting off and avoiding any Rho Gamma/Panhellenic Officer that came my way during First Week. I looked at them like they had asked me to cut my arm off whenever they asked me if I wanted to rush. To be honest, I did not even know what rush was, but I knew that I did NOT want to be a part of it. To me, it was dumb. It was a waste of money. It was a waste of my time.

And guess what? I did not rush my freshman year. I spent the first half of my freshman year isolating myself from everyone on campus. I spent all of my time in the library, and then (since I was a commuter) went back home once my work was finished.

Tiana would no doubt be disappointed in the food our cafeteria has to offer.

And hopefully she would cook for everyone in her dorm.

She definitley would not take any 8:00 am classes because she would be up late baking and cleaning up the communal kitchen that are available in every dorm.
